Use this old and well tested technic: Open serial monitor in the IDE. Add Serial.print at strategic places in the code, printing directing statuses and/or variables, in order to fence the problem.

this didn't work, could there be a problem with the code?

What didn't work? The suggestion by @Railroader is a tried and tested technique for finding problems in code.

Hello ahmett1
Take a view and gain the knowledge "how to debug".

Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.
Дайте миру шанс!

the code does not give any error but I think there is a mistake
